Re not going to/from Queens Wharf in my posts above: I'm wondering if their has a been a complaint about buses going around Centenary St/Av to return & are now prevented going to/from Queens Wharf, as the Watt & Scott Sts "works" intersection has finished. We'll see on Monday.Simlar to why only two bus routes only ended up on the previous network going to Newcastle East.

I Think from what I could see NT buses were still terminating at old Newcastle Station bus parking lot today. I didn't spend a lot of time around here due to wet weather so couldn't really observe too much but I got off a route 13 bus and instead of heading off towards Wharf Road, it parked / terminated at Newcastle station.

And apparently the BCI Citirider 12's without a rear door are fitted with seatbealts I was on m/o 5490 and it has seatbealts but the ones with the rear doors aren't, at least when I last went on them which was the time I filmed a video of riding it.

^^ ScaniaGrenda, I have a feeling that NT buses (& any other company's buses) that are meant to start/terminate) have been prevented from doing so, due to a possible complaint. But that Queens Wharf stop helps with access to parts of areas where the bus stops maybe too far away.

Customs House/Newcastle Station as a terminus was meant to end yesterday. I'd doubt I'd get an answer form the transport hub.

What was the basis of the complaints?The 11, 13 and 14 timetables still sow these routes as operating to and from Queens Wharf but the dynamic maps such as at https://transportnsw.info/routes/detail ... k/14/73014 for route 14 show them as operating to/from Customs House (not in heading).

Something about because Centenary Rd is one way & the buses are making it hard as they turn(ed) around there: But here is Centenary Rd. As you can see, it's two way.

Yes the Transport Planner & most similar whatever you call them, show only to/from Customs House.You can see on the NT webpage that they were meant to return to/from Queens Wharf last Monday.

Only SOME 11, 13 & 14's are showing CUSTOMS HOUSE, but if a bus shows the destination of QUEENS WHARF (or any XYZ destination for that matter), & you're going to Queens Wharf (or XYZ destination), then I believe the driver can't order you off, the driver has to take you to the destination shown, if that's where you going. Is that correct?

I'm by no means a resident of Newcastle & not down there every day of the week (despite my Youtube name and freuqentings of the Newcastle area) so I only observe what I see and definitely know about (if I don't then that's why I ask) so that's one of the reasons why I'm silent on the buses not going to QW matter or whatever is going on.

There's probably a lot of other things happening Transport wise in Newie that I'm either aware of or not aware of and don't have much to say on it, party due to it not affecting me or having much to say on it

Anyway m/o 1606 running with a broken opal reader at the front of the bus, a majority of the PAX didn't even bother to tap on using the middle reader that was working and treated it like it was a free bus.

Hopped on a 110 only to hear from the Drivers 2 way radio that the Hamilton depot was in Lockdown and that Drivers were NOT TO RETURN TO THE DEPOT even if they finished their shift until further notice (You could hear the fire alarm bells in the background of the 2-way). Another report came through the 2 way 2 minuets up the road again saying not to return to the Depot but a Fire sprinkler had been activated (never heard where about in the Depot on the 2 way) I went to check on Hamilton 10 minuets after the report was made and by the time I got there everything was All clear and buses were entering and leaving the Depot again. The Fire department hadn't arrived when I got there.

Sounds either like a false alarm or something tripped the sprinklers. Hope no Buses or Employees were harmed
